Am told that all Spec Cs (whether JDM or not) only have 50litre fuel tanks. Is this true?

Now that is a very strange first question from a newbie ........

I have no idea if its true or not but someone with superior knowledge on Spec C's will be along in a mojo to conifrm / deny.

All Spec C's are JDM and yes, they have a 50l tank.

All other recent Imprezas have a 60l tank.

That would mean a fill up every 5 laps of the ring .....guuuuuuulp

instead of every 6 laps????

The reason I'm asking is cos I had a MY04 STI (an everyday car for me) with a 60l tank which I found barely adequate.

If I do get a MY05 JDM Spec C Type RA it would still be my only car and that might be very impractical.

Based on what I've read, the Spec C Type RA is actually pretty useable everyday except for the size of the tank...

as long as you expect a harsh ride then yeah guess they are useable.....

The Spec C Type RA actually has adjustable suspension, though I'd suspect it goes from 'firm' to 'ouch!' rather than including any provision for comfort.

its actually a very nice ride and the seats are great.

You get 6 laps out of a tank Gary! kinell.

50ltrs (but the fuel pump/chamber thing makes up for it, plus lighter so slightly more economical )
